Been playing WHM since launch and though I enjoy the class, it's starting to feel too... "Standard", if you will. I need something different so I'd like to try SCH. I'd like to know people's feelings about the two classes.---Bougyo no tame no bougyo nashi. "There is no defense for defense's sake." - Kendo saying.PSN: Spearman-Rho

No reason you can't play both... they have virtually the same gear other than weapon.------http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/871278/

I play White Mage and honestly, as much as I love the abilities and whatever, a BIG reason I like it better than Scholar is the specific equipment.

The White Mage Myth boots are adorable. I love them so much---http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/4607528/

The question is, how many people who have both at 50 answered this poll?

Im a scholar main but have also played whm quite a bit I find both really fun to use but I have to give it to the scholar for me, its the job I keep going back to :) I do find myself missing the big aoe heals of whm but If I went to whm id miss the lustrates, the sheilds, the fairy and the ability to dps a lot easier so yeah! :)---PSN:Advent_Strife3DS FC: 5258-0169-2905 pokemon safari: Rock

I find SCH more fun, but as my mana pool's increased I'm finding WHM almost as entertaining.---http://i.imgur.com/LabbRyN.jpgraytan and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum.

On the whole I like scholar better. I have both at 50 and I've done some endgame fights on both, and they both have strengths and weaknesses. I find scholar more fun because I feel like there's a bit more thinking and planning involved. You manage your resources and try and mitigate big hits whereas white Mage healing is really just a war of attrition. All that being said, having both is the way to go so you can be an asset to any party. Most 8 man content benefits from having one of each. Although if you have to double up I think two WHMs are better than two SCHs.
